    Too much shoulder bump........?

    I have the action screws torqued to 55 in lbs. The stock came with no torque data so I looked it up on line and it said 50 to 60. If I can move a piece of paper between the barrel and the stock all the way back to where the barrel begins to taper into the action, is that good enough?

    Too much shoulder bump........?

    I pulled one of the rounds from batch B and weighed the powder. It weighed 41.5 gr according to my scale. Now, I know my scale is a garbage can but there has to be some level of consistency with this batch if the scale reads the same thing every time. ( I could be wrong though, and please feel...

    What exactly do you mean by "run out"?

    Too much shoulder bump........?

    The cases from batch B were bumped back .004"........Is this enough to affect accuracy? The cases from batch A were not bumped back much if any when resized, but didn't chamber well.

    Too much shoulder bump........?

    Ok, so I will be ordering a better scale shortly. What would cause more in inconsistency? A low quality scale or too much shoulder bump? Would it be wise to assume that the fluctuations I am experiencing are more so from the scale quality or the excessive shoulder bump?

    Too much shoulder bump........?

    This is what the inconsistency looks like. Batch B had more time and detail put into it than batch A. Could this much inconsistency be from too much neck bump or is it something else? I would like to think that I'm the problem but I had a second shooter experience the same thing. The .242 MOA...

    Too much shoulder bump........?

    I don't know how far back I bumped it. I don't have a bump gauge so I just kept tightening the sizing die down until I could easily chamber the empty brass casing. The first set "batch A"; Some of them would not chamber, but 90% of them did, with no problem, and shot great. I'm using a Dillon...

    Too much shoulder bump........?

    I recently put my R700 .308 in a new Bell and Carlson stock. Today I took it to the range to re-zero it. I brought 80 rounds that were reloaded at two different times. "Batch A" (40 rounds) was loaded on a progressive press, where I got the powder throw where I wanted it and went to town...

    Bell and Carlson Stock Upgrade

    I just replaced my R700 AAC .308 Hogue overmold stock with a Bell and Carlson Varmint/Tactical Medalist stock. I have not shot with the new stock yet. Do I have to bed it? Right now I just have it bolted in like normal. Will it shoot bad if the stock is not bedded? Is there anything else I need...

    Gunsmithing Where to get lugs lapped......?

    So I've decided to hold off on the lug lapping. After a lot of research and talking to custom gunsmiths, I'm gonna wait till I wear out the barrel on my rifle. At that point I'll have the action trued, lugs lapped etc... I was advised that on a relatively new rifle (about 400 rds ), it could...

    Gunsmithing Where to get lugs lapped......?

    Hey, does anyone in here know of any places in Florida that can lap the lugs on my rifle? I live in Florida and would like to avoid having to pay all the fees that go with shipping firearms. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks to all for your help. Here are some pictures taken from different angles, if this helps. Also does anyone know if there is a place in Florida that I can get the lugs lapped? I'd like to avoid having to pay all the fees for shipping a firearm to get this done. Thanks again!

    Remington 700 Bolt Lug marks/scrapes

    ashih313 yes, it is only on one side. I would be interested in having the lugs lapped, I just have no clue as to how to get that done. I'm using Lee dies (FL sizing die) on a Dillon RL550b. rth1800 when you say "dress off the galled area" do mean, like smooth it out?

    If I've gauled the lugs do I need to repair or replace the bolt or rifle?

    Remington 700 Bolt Lug marks/scrapes

    Hey guys, is this a problem......... Went to the range the other day and some of my loads were a little too long, probably around 2.81ish. I know they should be 2.800 COAL but I'm finding that my seating dies tend to adjust themselves throughout the process. When I went to chamber them, they...

    Re: Custom Oversize Bolt Knob For Remington 700 SA Yeah, it clears the scope with plenty of room. Those Phoenix bolt knobs are nice, I like them.
